Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

The route between South Zeal and Chagford is excellent. Between South Zeal and North Tawton is on quiet minor roads for the most part. However there is a very short section on the A3072 which is very busy and very fast. There is no pavement here. This is unfortunate as the walk between here and North Tawton along the river Taw. There is also a necessary walk along the B3215 which whilst safe, is not pleasant. The Route south however makes up for all this. The paths are in great condition and well signed. The roads are very quiet. The only exception is the half mile or so in and out of Chagford, which is fairly well used and no pavement. at Throwleigh I would recommend not taking the Two Moors Way route which goes through the churchyard, it is quite muddy at the river crossing and I think is unnecessary the short road section north of Throwleigh is very quiet and more direct. There are pubs at South Zeal and Wonson. There are stone steps, granite stepping stones and stiles on the route.

Before exiting Dartmoor you stop at a lovely village called South Zeal which i was fortunate enough to arrive as they had just started their yearly festival. Stayed for a few days and enjoyed the folksy music and people.

From there it's mostly country roads up to North Tawton but it can't be helped with the lack of public footpaths.
